His talks on futurist topics have captivated people ranging from high level of government officials to executives in Fortune 500 companies including NASA, IBM, AT&T, Hewlett-packard

Tom spent 15 years at IBM as an engineer and designer where he received over 270 awards, more than any other IBM engineer.

Paul Chang, who leads the traceability initiative at IBM, said the company is basically taking the tracking system it uses for the pharmaceutical industry

#Five technologies IBM predicts will be possible in the next 5 years What if a computer could let us feel#the texture of a fabric before we buy clothes online?

it s all within the realm of possibility in the next 5 years, according to IBM s list of technologies it thinks are on the cusp of adoption.

Every year IBM polls its R&d brain trust about what technologies that may have been at the hairy edge before

#IBM fellow and VP of innovation Bernie Meyerson told me recently. This year those closer-to-the-scalp#technologies converge around computers growing ability to handle richer,

So, without further ado, here s IBM s sixth annual 5 in 5 technology picks. 1. Computer with a sense of touch Even people who love shopping online say that it s hard to get a good read on the finished

IBM thinks they also need to hear total sounds#ambient noise, words, music, a lot of inputs to get the full story.

teething, or something more serious. 4. Digitized taste buds IBM s brainiacs think that machines will increasingly be able to taste things#like chocolate

So, how s IBM doing as a sooth sayer? Since I m still waiting for the jet packs we were promised decades ago, I m skeptical about technology predictions,

but IBM s list provides a good starting point to track tech progress and priorities. It s also fun to grade its prognostication skills.

IBM has 4 more years to make good. Taking the longer view, looking at IBM s inaugural list in 2006,

it does better. It was on the money with its call that people would be able to access healthcare remotely.

IBM also predicted real-time speech translation now exemplified by products like Samsung s Galaxy speech translation.

Meyerson admits to some less successful calls#especially one about hydrogen-powered vehicles#but he s pretty happy overall with IBM s effort.

since the days of IBM s first contract in Qatar, because air pollution and congestion are no longer a problem,

I was an engineer working as part of an IBM team to build a mobile satellite command and control center for monitoring missile launches from space.

IBM even created a starter kit to help people get started. 66. Locationists People who specialize in adding the relevance ofplace to our global online communities. 67.

The lotus leaf on the other hand maintains its squeaky clean reputation with a waxy surface structure that repels water a property called superhydrophobicity.

Combined with low adhesion this is known as the lotus effect. The September 2012 study published in the journal Soft Matter by Dr. Bhushan

and butterfly wings combine the low drag of shark skin with the superhydrophobicity of the lotus leaf putting these surfaces at the top of the list of nature-made self-cleaners.

and lotus leaves rice leaves and butterfly wings have special properties that make them particularly resistant to fouling.

They exhibited lotus-like properties including superhydrophobicity and low adhesion. This effect was magnified in coated samples

#Precision farming Gains Global Foothold (Op-Ed) Lloyd Treinish leads the environmental science team in the Industry Solutions Department at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research center.

A co-developer of IBM's Deep Thunder precision agriculture system he contributed this article to Livescience's Expert Voices:

At IBM we developed a precision agriculture weather-modeling service using Deep Thunder our Big data analytics technology for local customized high-resolution and rapid weather predictions.

but he d succeeded in selling some recycled plastics back to IBM. We could look at a molded section

Dave Bartlett, the Vice president of IBM's Smarter Buildings Initiative, recently made predictions for the top five building trends that are going to make a big impact in 2012,

For example, IBM is involved in a project in Boston's Backbay to help the neighborhood implement smart grid technology that electronically monitors

According to Bartlett, this system helped IBM identify carbon in unexpected places like in methane leaks from utilities.

IBM â¢s campus in Rochester, Minnesota has implemented this system of transparency. The buildings there take up a massive 3. 2 million square feet,

and IBM takes real time data from over 300,000 data points, combining the results help make the campus as efficient as possible,

Sensor technology, that is coming from the physical infrastructure (like that used on the IBM campus),

Bartlett said that IBM has found that people want to be involved in the improvement of their communities,

This method was implemented on IBM's campus, following a new sustainability mandate. I think that it is said really cool

IBM has been working with New york city a city whose buildings are much more responsible for green house gasses than many other cities due to its density,

The goal, with the help of IBM's carbon intelligence software is to reduce New york city's greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2017.

A capitalist's view on water conservation (or, why a price on water is impractical) Laura Shenkar,

IBM analytics technology helps Sun World use drip irrigation to decrease its water usage by 8. 5%.That difference is readily apparent in a new agribusiness case study that was brought to my attention by the IBM mid-market group.

according to IBM and Sun World. Fuel usage has also been cut by 20 percent. The sales team can also use Sun World's data in conjunction with industry buying trends to figure out the best timing for campaigns.

Sun World worked with an IBM Business Partner Applied Analytix, to craft the solution. Here's his perspective from the IBM press release about the solution:

We've aimed to transform the company culture from a farming business where you'grow

director of business analytics for IBM, says there are typically three things that hold entrepreneurs back from a technology investment like this that could yield results similar to the Sun World example.

productivity with IBM analyticsanalytics technology that has enabled a Michigan agricultural cooperative better account for the source of fruits

The technology platform, built by IBM business partner N2n Global, collects, stores and analyzes data about the food being handled by Cherry Central Cooperative from the time it is harvested and processed,

Steve Eiseler, vice president of operations at Cherry Central Cooperative, said the IBM-based technology has allowed his organization to significantly reduce the amount of paperwork necessary to remain in compliance with government food traceability requirements

The technology that Cherry Central is using includes IBM DB2 Web Query running on the Power system platform.

The cooperative is using a custom IBM System x application from N2n Global called the Quality & Food safety Manager.
